Eclipse Academy:
The Supreme Elder is getting updates from the dean. Including the events happening in the Red Moon Tower.
Sipping tea in his garden, he is thinking about Zack Lockwood.
"It's not easy to touch that kid," He said in his heart. Unlike the Giant Tower Academy, he didn't have any grudge against Zack Lockwood.
Instead, he hated the Viper Academy. Especially since he had a long-standing rivalry between the old supreme elder and himself.
But now things have escalated because of that powerhouse. And that person was connected to Zack Lockwood.
A quick gleam flashes in his eyes. Before he could think further, his sci-fi watch lit up with the notification.
Seeing that he casually looked at it. When he saw the contact name. He lost his composure. The tea spilled from his cup because of the sudden movement.
Ignoring the pain, he attended the call.
"My lord!" He said.
"I'll be there in a few minutes to get ready."
A deep majestic voice sounded from the other end.
The next second, the call ended. But he broke out in a cold sweat.
Cameron's face is full of disbelief. It took him a few seconds to realize the reality.
"Ha...Ha...Ha...,' the next second, he burst out with a happy laugh.
"Unbelievable!"
*It's unbelievable," he said to himself. The person was none other than a powerhouse from the main branch. He has already entered the inner post.
Now he is coming to their academy. The gloominess faded from his face. Now he looks bright and happy.
He knows what's going to happen next. He had invited the lord to investigate the Viper Academy. He thinks his intel must have rattled them.
The force behind the Viper Academy and the main branch doesn't get along with each other. Which is happening here in the outer post as well.
So the lord might use this opportunity to attack the Viper Academy. A cunning glint flashes in his eyes.
Suddenly, the image of Jonathan's warning flashes before his eyes. His expression immediately condensed.
"I don't think he is here. Even if he is in the Viper Academy, the lord can take care of him."
"He doesn't think that the powerhouse sent by the main academy is going to be weak," He muttered to himself.
The next second, he summons the Dean Edgar. He has to greet the great lord properly with others. If he gets on lord's bad side, that won't end well for him.
Meanwhile,
A few minutes ago,
A middle-aged man passes through the barrier to enter the outer post 1012. There is a golden card in his hand which gives him access.
In the blink of an eye, he successfully appears inside the outer post 1012. Breathing low-quality air, he gave a cold snort in his heart.
He really can't stand the atmosphere here. Especially for his level, which he intentionally suppressed before coming here.
His name is Bryson Koch. One of the elders from the main branch. He appears to be middle-aged in his forties. He has black hair and eyes. His skin tone is fair. He is standing in mid-air at 6 feet tall.
He is wearing a uniform of the main branch of the Eclipse Academy. Which is white and has golden designs on all over the edges. There is also an academy golden badge on the left side of the chest.
Bryson furrowed his eyebrows. This was his 1st time visiting this outer post. Like any other outer post, this place is barren as well.
"Let's not waste time here. After investigation, I should be going," He said in his heart. Then he contacted the elders of the local branch and informed them about his arrival.
Then he raised his left hand and tapped a few screens on the left bracelet. The location of the local Eclipse Academy was displayed.
After confirming that, he started to move in that direction. He is taking a few steps in the air but in reality, he is crossing multiple miles just like that.
On the way, he is thinking about the investigation that he is going to do. Some time ago, the local elder requested help citing that someone from the inner post attacked him and that his existence might pose a threat to their local Eclipse Academy.
Initially, no one paid any attention to it. But later, someone ran the background check and realized that person might be related to the Viper Academy.
The Viper Academy is also a major academy. But in the inner post, it's running under a different name. Unlike their Eclipse Academy.
The Viper Academy has a single main backer. Which is the Army Federation. So the elders back in the main branch thought someone from the federation was testing their limits here.
That's why they have sent him here to investigate. Since it's a powerhouse from the inner post. He has to tread carefully. Because those who can move in the outer post freely are not without a powerful background.
Not any force can get access to enter the outer post. So he thought about inquiring about the local elder first before dwelling on this matter.
A couple of minutes later,
Bryson reached the local Eclipse Academy. Looking at the similar white towering building. His mouth curves into an arc. But he also saw the lack of infrastructure here.
Except for some similarities, it's not comparable to the main academy.
Instead of landing on the ground, he is still standing in the air well above the clouds. Not anyone from the ground can see him unless he wants to.
Then he notices 2 people are coming towards him. One is old and the other one is a middle-aged man. No need to guess. He has figured out that the old man is the local elder.
Cameron's back is drenching in sweat. He has never seen the powerhouse from the inner post before except as the protector of the Viper Academy.
And this person is his superior as well. So he has to act more respectfully.
"My lord, I'm Cameron."
"Thanks for coming, my lord," Cameron said. No need to ask for identity. Because he recognized the white and golden uniform.
Bryson coldly looked at them from top to bottom. He instantly realized that he could kill these ants with a snap of his fingers.
"Take me to your place," He said in a cold tone.
Dean Edgar shuddered. He is feeling the great unknown pressure from this person. It's many times greater than the Supreme Elder.
If it continues, he might collapse on the spot.
Then both of them started guiding the main branch elder towards the mansion.
In a blink of an eye, they arrived at the mansion.
Bryson looked around before fixing his gaze on the old man before asking, "This is your place."
"Yes, my lord. This is my home," Cameron replied in a humble tone.
Hearing that Bryson decided to inquire. Before that, he looked at a middle-aged man. Dean Edgar understood the meaning and without waiting for them to speak he left the place.
When his presence completely disappeared. Bryson appeared in front of a chair and sat on it. Seeing that Cameron thought something flashed before his eyes.
lightsΝοvel He then turned around and saw the elder was already sitting on his chair and making tea. This all happened within a second.
When the realization hit him. An unknown fear gripped his heart. So the main branch people are this powerful. He didn't know what he had invited to this place.
Suppressing the fear in his heart, he slowly walked towards him.
Seeing that the elder is focusing on making tea, he doesn't speak.
Bryson ignored him and prepared the cup of tea. When it was ready, he started sipping tea. From beginning to end, he didn't even look at Cameron.
When the tea enters his mouth. He felt the taste was disgusting.
Splash!
The next second, he spat it out.
"What the f@ck is it?" He cursed out.
Cameron felt a thunderclap ring in his ears. He didn't expect to see this scene. He broke out in a cold sweat.
"My lord," Cameron asked.
"What kind of disgusting drink is this?" Bryson asked.
"That tea leaves were the most expensive in this region," He said in his heart. But he didn't dare to say it outside. If he says anything wrongly, it might offend the main branch leader.
"Forget it," Bryson uttered.
Then he thought about the investigation before turning towards him.
"I want to know what happened exactly. So tell me without hiding anything," Bryson asked.
Hearing that Cameron's heart shuddered. Then he started explaining it.
A few minutes later,
Bryson frowned. According to Cameron, he didn't even catch the appearance of the attacker. So it's too early to say that the attacker was from the inner post.
More importantly, the Viper Academy is keeping silent on this matter.
After gaining some clarity, he stood up from his chair.
He then looked at the local elder before saying, "Alright, let's go to the Viper Academy."
"I want to see whether anyone is behind that academy," He added.
